Navy SEAL Requirements


Entering training to become a Navy SEAL is voluntary. Anyone can volunteer, and officers and enlisted men train side by side. In order to enter SEAL training, however, they do have to meet certain requirements. Those wishing to volunteer for SEAL training have to:

• be an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy
• be a man (women aren't allowed to be Navy SEALs)
• be 28 or younger (although waivers for 29- and 30-year-olds are possible)
• have good vision -- at least 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other (corrective surgery is also possible)
• be a U.S. citizen
• pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
• Pass a stringent physical screening test that includes the following procedure: swim 500 yards in 12.5 minutes or less, followed by a 10-minute rest; do 42 push-ups in under two minutes, followed by a two-minute rest; do 50 sit-ups in under two minutes, followed by a two-minute rest; do six pull-ups, followed by a 10-minute rest; run 1.5 miles in boots and long pants in less than 11.5 minutes

Once a potential SEAL qualifies for training, the real fun starts.

All these standards went to shit when women were allowed to be inducted for training. Case in point being how this POS Gen. Kurt Sonntag gutted Green Beret standards to mass produce them (which you can't because gender dimorphism) and to try to allow in a female for his promotion.

This Sonntag guy was replaced by the General who oversaw the Delta raid that killed Baghdadi.

Green Beret due to the reduction in standards are now dropping like flies.

Para SF will avenge their deaths. They always do. Till then, pray for the families of the martyred .

In a statement issued here, he confirmed the killing of three soldiers and injuries to several others. However, reliable sources told that two among the injured soldiers, one among them a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) succumbed to injuries at Badamibagh army hospital where they were removed from difficult terrains amid hostile weather conditions in Kupwara. All the killed army soldiers as well as three other injured in the gunfight, sources said, are mainly from elite para force.

“In ongoing anti-infiltration operation in Keran Sector of north Kashmir, alert troops braving inclement weather and hostile terrain have so far eliminated five militants attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control (LoC) taking advantage of bad weather,” Col Kalia said.

I have been a mute spectator, i used to get irritated when @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR @abingdonboy and @rkhanna used to talk about shortcomings of our special forces, after today's 5 casualties, now I think they are right.

I do not know under what circumstances did 5 of our best lost their lives, painful day. EDI encounter memories all over again. Why are we even using special forces for an encounter with terrorists.

I understand mate tht it's part of the job, but using special forces for encounters are something I am unable to digest, losing 5 in a single firefight is huge.

Special forces are supposed to be our best, just imagine wht would be the case if it were normal infantry or even RR guys.

Jeez man, they aren't invincible, don't put other forces down as well. And you don't know the half of it about the situation at the place of encounter. Things can change pretty fast in a firefight.

I never said they are invinsible, are they not better trained than normal infantry and RR? I am no one to judge their capabilities I am only telling logically.

Put a platoon of special forces and platoon of normal infantry in the same situation who will show better results?

There can be various scenarios I am not denying, can an updated equipments would have come in handy?

Read about the jungles of Kupwara. The terrain is quite challenging, especially with well-trained jihadis occupying a dominant position. This is the same sector where we lost Major Mohit Sharma in 2009 along with another 8 Para commandos.

These disasters happen, look up Op Red Wings and that was a pre-planned surveillance Mission. In direct action ops there’s always a huge risk to the hunters and it seems like the area where this happened was heavily forested. Equipment levels can only get you so far but after a certain point it’s all down to fortune and hoping you get the upper hand, like I said in a direct action mission the odds are already stacked against you.


We also can’t rule out that this was intended to be an ambush from the outset by the Paki rats, this team could’ve walked into a well planned trap and there’s not much you can do in those situations.


Just be grateful that these beastly men exist ready to go out on those choppers into the darkness to hunt these monsters
this will be my position unless it’s proven that equipment deficiencies (which are surely there) led to their deaths.


+ EDI is an entirely separate matter, that was a debacle on a monumental scale
